* " Wilhelmus le Scropp emit de Domino Wilhelmo Montacuto Insulam Eubouiae id est Manniae. Est nempe jus ipsius Insulae ut quisquis illius sit Dominus Rex vocetur, cui etiam fas est corona aurea coronari." See Sacheverell's Short Survey of the Isle of Man, p. 61. The Earl of Wiltshire having been defeated by Henry Duke of Lancaster (Henry IV), at Raglan Castle, in 1399, was beheaded without attainder. On this ground Mr. Simon Thomas Scrope, of Danby, in Yorkshire, is now (1864) claiming the Earldom. Henry IV professed to make grants of the Isle of Man, first to Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, and then in 1406 to Sir John Stanley.
